This means that our play is incredibly exploitable (if we fold KK here, villians should be c/ring often), but it is in response to an exploitable error so that's okay.
let's flip the hand around. What should our check raise range be? Should it be zero (we flat sets, jacks, maybe pockets, fold everything else)? Or do you like a c/r line with sets and some hands like 67s, KQ/QTs (that is, whatever random blocking type hands we have in our range. Personally I do try and identify villians where I can do the latter, but the default is the former.
I think this is exactly the question. this is really one of the best boards to check raise bluff, since hero will cbet it with 100% and it is unlikely to hit him.
but you don't want to get carried away and 60/40 value/bluff seems reasonable
good candidates are as you said 67s or 56s with the backdoor. I also like AQs with the backdoors if that's the strongest hand that doesn't 3 bet pre.
I also like 54s with the backdoor, which is the only draw on this board (and which in this hand got there.) I also think the bluff is one and done unimproved.
KK has 45% of the equity against this range +sets
